Lyrics and translation Camané - Lume




Lume
Fire
Foi assim, era costume
It was like this, it was a habit
Tu vinhas pedir-me lume
You would come and ask me for fire
Ao balcão daquele bar
At the counter of that bar
E eu disse que não, primeiro
And I said no, at first
Depois comprei um isqueiro
Then I bought a lighter
E até voltei a fumar
And even started smoking again
As noites que nós passámos
The nights we spent
Quantos cigarros fumámos
How many cigarettes we smoked
Tanto lume que eu te dei
All the fire that I gave to you
Um dia acordei com frio
One day I woke up cold
Estava o cinzeiro vazio
The ashtray was empty
E nunca mais te encontrei
And I never saw you again
Mas ontem, naquele bar
But yesterday, at that bar
De repente vi-te entrar
Suddenly I saw you enter
Foste direita ao balcão
You went straight to the counter
Como era o teu costume
As was your habit
Vieste pedir-me lume
You came to ask me for fire
Mas eu disse-te que não
But I told you no
Se quando te foste embora
When you left that day
Deitei o isqueiro fora
I threw away my lighter
Que lume te posso eu dar?
What fire can I give to you?
Pede a outro que te ajude
Ask someone else to help you
P'ra bem da minha saúde
For my health's sake
Eu deixei de fumar
I've already quit smoking
Sem dormir de madrugada
Without sleep at dawn
Ouvi teus passos na escada
I heard your steps on the stairs
Vi da janela o teu carro
I saw your car from the window
Debaixo do travesseiro
Under the pillow
Encontraste o meu isqueiro
You found my lighter
E acendeste-me o cigarro
And lit my cigarette
Debaixo do travesseiro
Under the pillow
Encontraste o meu isqueiro
You found my lighter
E acendeste-me o cigarro
And lit my cigarette
